Morrison, 62, was killed after he threw bricks at gunman Sajid Akram on Sunday evening as fellow civilian Ahmed Al Ahmed also confronted the attacker, his heroic act caught on camera.
“From my sources and understanding, he had jumped up the second the shooting started. He managed to throw bricks at the terrorist,” Gutnick said.
“I believe after Ahmed managed to get the gun off the terrorist, my father had then gone to try and unjam the gun, to try and attempt shooting.
“He was screaming at the terrorist and protecting the community.”
Gutnick said that if there had to be one way her father would be taken from this earth, it would be while “fighting a terrorist”.
“There was no other way he would have been taken from us,” she added.
Chilling social media footage which circulated in the aftermath of the shooting shows Morrison attempting to stop the gunmen while Ahmed tackled and disarmed him.
He was killed shortly after this video was taken.
Morrison, who split his time between Sydney and Melbourne, had migrated to Australia from the former Soviet Union in the 1970s.
He was a member of the Jewish community and was celebrating the first day of Hanukkah when he was killed.
Gutnick said her father migrated to Australia believing he would be safe.
Morrison is among 15 innocent people who were killed on Sunday.
